A wonderful caring, giving lady. I was one of the many Madeline touched with her willingness to share knowledge guiding us through 4-H clubs and later with Horticulture. The first thing I learned to make in 4-H was cornbread at Madeline’s place so think of her every time I have it. So grateful for all she added to my life. My sympathy to all her family.

Eloise Hagerman
To the family of Madeline Parkinson, Madeline was a very special person and a great friend. She always appreciated my visits to her home and for the past several years at Wildwood Nursing Home. It is sad to loose a loved one but Madeline has not had any quality of life for the past year or so. I cannot attend the service in Lucan but my thoughts are with all who were close to Madeline.
Marie Sisson Grasby-Woodrow
Sincere condolences to the family of Madeline. My parents, Claire & Muriel Sisson were friends & neighbours of Ken & Madeline many years ago.
Joy (Thacker) Barr
One of the last of the Eighth line farmers. She was a great leader and inspiration for me after losing my Mother when I was 13. She led Explorers and 4-H and taught me much over my teenage years. I have many warm memories of her and will miss her smile and gentle ways. Rest in peace and know that your life on earth inspired many young girls like myself.
